The bond between a dog and a baby is not scary, it is beautiful: Our Tilly and Joshua

‘A dog is the bestest friend you could ever have. A loyal loving companion that cares for you more than themselves. A special creature whose time in your heart will far outnumber its days on earth.’

We were a bit wary bringing our new born baby home at first. Our dog Tilly has never really been around babies or toddlers before. I never left them alone together or let Joshua get too close to her. Tilly has never been vicious before and we know that she wouldn’t hurt a fly. But, you can never be too careful, especially with a new born baby around. We always tried to give her just as much attention and affection as before, as the last thing we wanted to do was to make her feel unwanted or left out. After all, she has always been a big part of our family.
